I have an exciting project to share with you today. I recently won some images from Sheepski Designs and picked this Flamenco Dancer as one of my images as I was inspired by the card my friend BożenA had made with it a while ago. Please visit her blog to see her version here. The two of us have decided to challenge each other to a theme or project and so she picked our first theme to be Dance and challenged me to use this image.
I decided that I would make this card to also depict one of my personality traits which is to encourage people around me to be themselves and to believe in themselves and what they have inside of them. Each of us is unique and incredible if we would just be true to our inside and not let the outside dictate our every move. I wanted my card to make a bold statement in this regard!

Hi Monica !! WOW! How beautifully you designed your card! I love the embossed background, it contrasts beautifully with the colorful part of the card, and the wonderful three-dimensional word looks stunning when its shadow is created. WOW! It was a great adventure to create this bridge with you Monica! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello Monika! Your flamenco dancer is stunning! I adore how you coloured her, then die cut the word and popped it on foam for dimension – such a fabulous design! (And so brave of you!) Your sentiment is very inspiring too and reflects your 'believe in yourself' character trait which you kindly shared! Beautiful colouring and mind-boggling (to me!) technology on the the Silhouette machine 🙂 Love the colour contrast with the embossed panel! I popped over to Brozena's blog for a peek at her project – such a great idea to set up your intercontinental bridge!
Thank you for sharing your awesome project with us at the Craftilicious Creations
